Since recently we were discussing desktop notifications and temporary 
rising emacs window, I am unsure if capture indication is related to the 
firefox extension, notification daemon, or emacs.

Launching org-protocol handler from browser is unreliable, there is 
almost no way to detect an error. One indirect technique relies on 
switching focus from firefox to another application, but it is not 
applicable for your workflow.

More robust approach is a native messaging application that is a bridge 
between sandboxed firefox extension and emacs. It makes setup more 
complicated however and no simple org-protocol extensions use this approach.
